Fuselage: Painted. Disassembling of the wreck

I've got the painted fuselage back in my garage and it looks pretty good.  I'll be temporarily installing the landing gear shortly to check fitment.

I'm also continuing the disassembly of the wrecked Stearman that I purchased in Maine.  I've removed the landing gear, all the aluminium skins, the firewall, etc.  I needed to remove the wheels and tires to move forward with the project, so it was a good time to remove the gear and start stripping down the airframe.

The wrecked Stearman still on its gear.  I've since stripped that set of gear and placed it in storage.

I built a heavy duty saw-horse to support the wrecked fuselage now that the gear has been removed.
